There are cases when it is best to port to the corresponding Qt4 classes.

+

−

Examples of these are the QButtonGroups, KActions, KPageWidget, QTabBar

+

−

For now, focus on make it work. Assess whether it will be faster using Qt3Support or a newer class.

[http://sourceforge.net/projects/kmymoney2/files/KMyMoney-KDE4/3.98.0/kmymoney-3.98.0.tar.bz2/download KMyMoney 3.98.0] has been released on May 15th 2010.

−

These are the issues that need to be fixed first before releasing a beta version.

+

−

*<s>Entering a transaction and hitting an account limit will get the application in a loop which ends in a crash</s>

+

[http://sourceforge.net/projects/kmymoney2/files/KMyMoney-KDE4/3.97.2/kmymoney-3.97.2.tar.bz2/download KMyMoney 3.97.2] has been released on Apr 6th 2010.

−

*<s>Reinvest dividend transaction form never enables the Enter button</s>

+

−

*<s>Enter does not work for transaction enter, only Return does.(not as important as the other, but it's a nag in a main part of the application)</s>

+

[https://sourceforge.net/projects/kmymoney2/files/KMyMoney-KDE4/3.96.1/kmymoney-3.96.1.tar.bz2/download KMyMoney 3.96.1] has been released on Feb 17th 2010.

−

*<s>Port AqBanking plugin</s> ''Note: KBanking compiles against at Qt4 AqBanking. Still need to test if it really works (ipwizard)''

+

−

* There are a couple of occurrences of '''Uninitialized variables''' warnings during the build. We should fix those.

+

== Installation ==

−

* Several files are rebuilt if '''make''' is executed twice in a row.

+

−

*<s>After the payee completer depletes al possible completions when typing a payee's name the typed text is selected so if the user continues to type all characters entered so far are lost</s>

+

=== Requirements ===

+

+

KMyMoney depends on KDE SC 4.4+. Specifically on kdelibs and kde PIM libs. Additionally, you may want to install other libraries that will provide additional functionality:

+

+

*libofx >= 0.9.2

+

*Aqbanking >= 5.0.0

+

*quote::finance

+

+

=== Installation steps ===

+

+

If possible, it is always preferred to use a package specifically prepared for your distribution. However, if one is not available, or you want a more recent version, you can use the latest tarball. If you really need the most recent version, such as to test a new bug fix, get the source from [https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/office/kmymoney KDE Git] at

+

+

* '''git://anongit.kde.org/kmymoney'''.

+

+

To install, read the README.cmake file in the root folder of the source. The basic steps are the following:

+

+

First, make sure you have uninstalled any old versions of kmymoney through your package manager and/or '''sudo make uninstall''' depending on how it was installed last time. Then:

+

+

$ mkdir build

+

$ cd build

+

$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/

+

$ make # This step may be needed twice

+

$ make install

+

+

It is important that the prefix is the same one that is used by your already installed KDE software. If it does not match, you will run into problems later.

+

'''(The last step should be executed with admin privileges. Either switch to root or use sudo, or the appropriate steps for your installation)'''

+

+

To execute, either look for KMyMoney on the Office menu, or type kmymoney in a console window.

−

== Areas known to work ==

+

=== Localization ===

−

I thought that we can put here a list of features that are known to work (after a developer testing):

+

'''If you are installing from Git source, you need to install your locale files by hand. If you are installing from the tarball provided above, please skip this section.'''

+

To localize you will need to download the appropriate kmymoney.po file from http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kde4/&lt;country_code&gt;/messages/extragear-office/ (replace &lt;country_code&gt; with the correct one for your locale e.g. es would give http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kde4/es/messages/extragear-office/) and then, either by switching to root or using sudo, do the following:

−

{|- border="1"

+

*Copy the kmymoney.po file into /usr/share/locale/&lt;country_code&gt;/

*In that folder run:

This version is only suitable for early adopters. It will behave fairly well, but the application might crash and you may lose some data. Make backups often.

I will try to keep the strings together and work on coordination for the integration of/with other KDE applications. On the code front maybe setting up the Qt-Designer plugin for the KMyMoney widgets.

For 3.95 version and later, we use the Bugzilla tracker at bugs.kde.org (BKO). Any bugs you find, please report it and assign to product kmymoney4. Also, if you need help write to kmymoney-devel@kde.org.

* '''DrKonqi''' will inform you if the crash report is useful or not (it contains the debug information or not)

+

* if '''DrKonqi''' says that the report is not useful something went wrong in the above steps

* if you can't reproduce the crash immediately you can run KMyMoney for a while in an environment in which '''_NT_SYMBOL_PATH''' is defined as above (you can use a batch file for that)
